Episode 158 Choose a faction (2)
Wooooow!
A new person appeared with a bright light.
Liaoyu.
He is the second-in-command of the Chinese guild.
“Mr. Liaoyu!”
Maria welcomed Liaoyu warmly.
Due to the random nature of assignment, players are currently grouped into small groups and dispersed.
Therefore, even just one person desperately needed stronger power.
Liaoyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whew. Fortunately, the. I come to a place where there are people with outstanding skills… … .”
however.
As Liaoyu spoke, his words trailed off.
He found Jinhyeok distracted in the corner.
“Is that person here too?”
“yes. “I don’t like it either, but I think we have no choice but to be together.”
“that… … “I see.”
Crash.
The sound of teeth grinding resonated particularly loudly.
Since I came to the place where the culprit was who chose such an absurd level of difficulty, I couldn’t help but feel angry.
However, the situation was so desperate that I couldn’t just complain.
‘I’ll bear with you for now.’
The Chinese guild and the samurai guild are already joining hands with the huge power ‘Wurim’.
This means that when it comes to this force selection battle, we have an advantage that cannot be compared to others.
In the end, no matter how much it flies and crawls, both hands and feet will be tied this time.
When I thought about it like that, I felt like the pain built up inside me was relieved a little.
“Hmm. Heungheung. “Hmm.”
Jinhyeok hummed and looked at the entrance to the labyrinth, whether he knew what was going on or not.
The main theme of this labyrinth is ‘protecting the tombs of our ancestors.’
Of course, countless traps were waiting inside.
‘It’s a cliché, but I will mercilessly kill any intruders who disturb the rest of the dead kings. Well, this is what it means.’
Right then.
“I’ll go in now. “Player Kang Jin-hyuk, welcome too.”
Maria called Jinhyeok.
When Jinhyuk joined, a detailed explanation of the raid continued.
“First, let me explain briefly. There are currently six people in total. “There is a tank, two melee dealers, two ranged dealers, and a sub-healer.”
Although the numbers were insufficient, fortunately, the balance was maintained.
The formation will not collapse all at once.
“We will go inside step by step, being as careful as possible. “I, who has the most experience in the labyrinth, will be at the rear to check for traps, so everyone please follow my instructions.”
“All right.”
“Let’s do that.”
“shit. Even if it’s the 25th floor, it won’t be impossible if you just keep doing what you’ve been doing so far.”
Everyone nodded.
＊＊＊
The tank at the front line takes center stage, followed by close range dealers and long range dealers respectively.
Because the individual skills were so outstanding, a formation that looked quite solid even with a small number of players was formed.
and.
Jinhyeok smiled when he saw that.
‘It’s a textbook.’
But that’s just it.
In the first place, the ships here are not the type that can withstand even if you prepare for them.
Of course, since you’ve never been here, you probably don’t know that.
‘Let’s go somewhere soon.’
Jinhyuk walked away without giving any warning.
Jeez.
In such silence that you can even feel your heartbeat.
Everyone’s senses were heightened.
Since we did not know when and where the trap would be activated, tension was at its peak.
The moment when Maria, who was at the very end, passed between the stone statues on both sides.
Kukukukukuku!
Suddenly the earth’s axis began to vibrate violently.
It’s a trap.
“I will deploy my shield!”
Maria shouted.
Tankers raised their shields high, and dealers lowered their bodies, ready to launch themselves anywhere.
I didn’t know what kind it was, but I could instinctively feel that something unusual was going to happen.
[All you bastards who have invaded the ‘Valley of the Good Kings’, listen up!]
A voice like scraping metal echoed throughout the valley.

The sound came from the top.
To be exact, it is from the place where the two stone statues are.
“Mons… … “Is it a place?”
“no. “It doesn’t seem like it wants to move.”
Maria firmly drew a line.
The statue did not move, as if it were nailed in place. At least I didn’t have to fight against those huge giants.
But why?
Maria’s face became colder than ever as the evil energy engulfed her entire body.
Something is strange.
The situation… … It’s not unusual.
The moment I felt that way.
[Grave robbers need appropriate punishment. Experience the wrath of kings with that humble body!]
Translucent waves emanated from the sword the statue was holding.
Partz tsk tsk… … !
You can’t avoid it.
Because the range of wavelengths was so wide, players had to absorb the light in its entirety.
“Ugh!”
“Aaaah!”
[Physical defense and magic defense change to 0!]
[The chance of receiving a critical hit increases by 100%!]
[All resistance to piercing attacks disappears.]
[All resistance to the five major attributes disappears!]
[All unique abilities and skills related to defense are effective… … .]
The status window that appeared countless times was a sentence announcing death.
“The magic power from the shield… … , I don’t feel any magical power.”
Maria muttered with a helpless expression on her face.
I wish that light had been an attack. The debuff inflicted by the statue was so desperate that it made one think so.
“Oh, this can’t be right…” … .”
“There are these ridiculous restrictions.”
“Are you saying that if you fall into a trap even once, you will die?”
Moreover, seeing as a similar type of wave could be felt from afar, it was clear that players teleported to other places were also in the same situation.
With this, the probability of survival in the labyrinth has become infinitely close to zero.
It’s a natural thing.
The tanker needs to take the lead reliably.
Sub-dealers also need to apply shields or buffs just in case.
Main dealers who have to rely on their survival skills to delve into enemy territory.
Because everyone had lost their wings.
so that.
None of the people here.
I didn’t realize that one of my group members had disappeared.
＊＊＊
“Cough. Ugh. And the humid air… … .”
Jinhyuk entered the labyrinth and looked around.
Front and back, left and right.
A passage where you don’t know where it leads.
In the darkness, all I had to rely on was the faint glow-in-the-dark stones on the wall.
However, there was no trace of tension on Jinhyeok’s face.
‘If you die if you even brush against it, doesn’t that mean you don’t have to get hit even once?’
I don’t know why no one realized that simple fact.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t be so frustrated.
ah… … !
‘It might be impossible for other people to attack here with a no-hitter.’
I think I was the one who couldn’t think deeply.
Anyway, the problem is that I always think based on my own standards.
Jinhyuk briefly bowed his head toward the entrance of the labyrinth in reflection.
There are still panicked players out there who don’t know what to do.
This means that the forces are struggling in the early stages, which is the most important thing to watch.
‘It seems like the top scorer has already been decided.’
Jinhyuk lightly relaxed his body and picked up a stone that had fallen on the floor.
Then he threw a rock towards the inside of the passage.
Buuuuung!
The stone that drew a parabola did not go very far.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Fuuuuuuu!
Quang!
The place I thought was the floor disappeared like sand.
Dozens of fire arrows and ice skewers intertwined on both sides of the wall.
It all happened in less than a second.
‘It would be close to impossible for a player who lost his defense ability to pass through this.’
No, even if it didn’t hit the mark, it wasn’t easy to survive here.
Aren’t these traps just installed at the entrance?
As we went deeper, not only the power but also the pattern became much more complex, so it was not unreasonable to consider the quest a failure.
but.
That’s a story about normal players.
‘It has nothing to do with me.’
Jinhyuk approached the wall right next to him.
I saw a stone wall with complex runes and an ancient language written on it.
‘It was definitely like this… … .’
When I cleared away the cobwebs and dust with my palm, the engraved letters were clearly visible.
‘found.’
Even though it’s been a while since I’ve been here, the mind-blowing experience never goes away.
Therefore, no matter how high the stairs were, the advantage of stagnant water did not fade.
Just like now, there was a back road that could overcome even places that boasted extreme levels of difficulty.
In order to reinterpret the barrier technique that builds the labyrinth, Jinhyeok even activated the ‘moon imprint’.
[‘Moon Engraving’ responds to ancient languages!]
A soft light emanated from the tattoo on his shoulder.
at the same time.
A crack appeared in a part of the solid wall.
A blue line began to be drawn along the wall.
The line immediately continued into a rectangular shape.
[A passage leading to the late king’s tomb has appeared.]
[There is only one door to choose from per person.]
[Remaining Time: 0h:0m:60s]
Five doors were completed.
At the top of the door were symbols symbolizing the five elements, and each element was emitting intense light as if it were alive.
Jinhyuk looked at the symbols one by one.
Fire, water, earth, wind, light.
No matter where you choose, it will not be an easy path.
Because that passage was connected to named monsters that symbolized the five major elements.
Of course, with your defense nerfed, you’ll have to fight for your life to take down one of those guys.
Yes, if you fight, your chances of dying will be overwhelmingly high.
‘if… … ‘If we fight.’
… … Now 40 seconds.
The grains of sand in the hourglass fell quickly.
There isn’t much left now.
Jinhyuk clenched and unclenched his fists.
10 seconds.
The time to decide has arrived.
But Jinhyuk still didn’t move.
Instead, I summoned a fang and a twin dragon sword from my subspace inventory.
And at that very moment.
[All time has passed.]
All the grains of sand fell.
“Keeeeee!”
With a harsh roar.
Something started to come out of the five doors.
Because I didn’t make a choice, all the monsters inside were liberated.
Grumble!
The first thing to appear was a fire spirit spouting flames from its mouth.
It was ‘Salamander’.
Although it was only 1m in size, Salamander, one of the spirit beasts, was a threat in itself.
“How dare a human being set foot here. “I’ll cook you to the bone and then swallow you whole.”
Salamander clicked his tongue.
“Are you threatening me now? “You’re going to kill me?”
“It is my mission to eliminate intruders. Even more so, if the target is a person who is not worthy of being thrown away, they can be burned without mercy.”
“… … “You say so?”
Jinhyuk glanced down.
OK.
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato raised its tail high. As if the owner was angry about being threatened.
Kukukukukukuku!
The air vibrated violently.
Phantom beasts and spirit beasts reign over monsters.
and… … .
The strongest living organism located at the top of the entire food chain.
There is an ancient species.
[Sweet Potato activates Lv4 ‘Fear’!]
